World Orienteering Championship - Athletes In the Landscape

The Adventure Show  is a Scottish based production company that commissioned LA Media to drone cover the  World Orienteering Championship that was taking place in Scotland.

It was a huge challenge for the drone team to simply get to the point where they had been asked to film from and thank goodness for the 4 wheel drive Toyota which is the standard transport at LA Media.

To get a shot, a  runner had to spotted as soon as they broke cover from the forested terrain they were running through. After a runner had been spotted, the drone team had only minutes to perform a safe take off, move to where the runner was, establish the runner on camera, and then follow them with a useable shot until the runner disappeared once more into dense forrest.

At the same time the drone team had to ensure the safety of the runners by keeping a good distance between them and the drone and provide no distraction to the extremely focused runners while they ran through the 'ankle dangerous' terrain that is wilderness Scotland.

It was a great day out for the drone team that was filled with the fun moments of explosive excitement that occurred when any runner was spotted.
